- Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2012We love this magazine! we have had a subscription to this magazine for a couple of years now and just renewed! We used to pick them up locally one by one, we decided that we loved the educational value of the magazine and our children could use the magazine for their studies. That is when we decided it was worth paying for a subscription to the magazine.
This information offers so much information and we can turn the T.V. off and read and learn through other methods such as National Geographic which officers world wide educational information.
The photography is very beautiful and also educational. This magazine is very valuable to our family and worth the return on our investment (subscription to the magazine). We gain so much knowledge from this magazine and for our household, we will pay more for knowledge than material things (cars, house, brand name clothes etc)..
Our children love the photography and it allows us to use this educational magazine as a means to teach our children to gain information, news, knowledge, etc from other sources other than the T.V. This magazine exposes our children to articles and other information that they may have not been exposed to through school or our community. Our children can use their imagination and go far away without leaving our home.
You will find the subject matter, photography, and writing very interesting and informative. This magazine is one that will give back to you.. We only subscribe to National Geographic and one other magazine. We only subscribe to the best!
This magazine will enrich your household and take you places you could never imagine!
Well back to NG! Makes for great family discussion! (Family Time) Clean magazine for the whole family!
2 people found this helpfulHelpful - Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2014I requested this subscription as a birthday present from my husband. What followed was the gift that kept on giving. I've always had a fondness for National Geographic, seeking it out in waiting rooms and so on, for the amazing photography and talented writing. Thus far, it has not failed to provide a window into the wondrous world I am privileged to be a part of. The articles are enchanting, and the photography is amazing. I get so excited when I see a new issue sitting on my doorstep. I look forward to keeping the issues as educational reading for myself, guests, and my future kids.
But the magazine speaks for itself. Something more relevant to prospective purchasers is subscribing through Amazon. I'll admit, I was nervous when suggesting that my husband subscribe through Amazon, given the negative reviews posted here. However, I have not had any problems with the subscription. Delivery has been both timely and consistent. At the time of ordering, the subscription was cheaper through Amazon than directly from NG, but now I see it's $19.99 on both websites. This may be subject to change from the time I write the review, but overall I have had no problems and got a decent deal.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 21, 2013Our family subscribed to National Geo since I was a child. When I left home, I continued my subscription to this top notch magazine. The topics of this magazine are about globally relevant social, cultural, scientific and environmental issues. The material is broadly sweeping. The articles provide info about current world issues, as well as quirky, fascinating vignettes, windows into the lives of unusual people and distinctive cultural groups, as well as inform people of relevant environmental issues pertinent to people around the globe. National Geo articles are well written, entertaining, fascinating, yet easy to read, and the photos are superb. If you want to be informed of world cultures and provided with latest information about environmental conditions and issues on land and sea and current scientific research in an easy to understand format re-enforced with photos and diagrams/maps, this magazine is a superb addition to your household or workplace.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2020Note: I am writing this review prior to receiving my actual subscription. However, I've read this magazine many times, and this review is based on that.
National Geographic is, in my book, the best magazine out there. The articles cover a wide range of engaging topics. Whether you like space, history, geography or anatomy, there will be something for you. The photos are, of course, extremely well done. I've always bought this magazine when traveling, but figured it was time for a subscription. If you are on the fence about it, I will say that it is well worth the money.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2015I have subscribed to the National Geographic magazines for over two decades. It is a first class magazine and I really enjoy reading some of the articals and viewing the photographs, art work, and maps. But the cost of the subscriptions has gotten so high that I had to stop the subscription. Then I saw a great offer of renewing my subscription at a greatly reduced price through an Amazon special. That subscription was for last year which ended at the end of 2014. When Amazon again offered me a great price to renew my National Geographic magazine subscription for another year I jumped right on it again for another year. A great magazine at a great Amazon price. Keep up those great offers, Amazon!
